DG ENV & 3M cooperation - EMAS certification update 3M Considerations in view of future EU Chemical Strategy and PFAS Action Plan - 15 July 2020.docx
Dear Kestutis, Hope you & family- and team - are well.
I just wanted to follow up on the EMAS certification for 3M's 2 sites producing PFAS chemicals in Europe (out of our 44 manufacturing sites in EMEA). As mentioned to you we already have this certification for our site in Gendorf (Bavaria, Germany) and I can now confirm you that the process for having the EMAS certification for our other site next to Antwerp is now started and should be completed by end 2020. 3M is indeed very committed to responsible manufacturing. In this respect, we would be pleased to invite you and your team to come next to Antwerp in 2021 as we also are working on a large investment on this manufacturing site. Meanwhile it would be great continuing our discussion, for example in November when the Chemical Strategy for Sustainability has been published? Please let me know your views & availability.
Finally, FYI, earlier this week at this year's historic 75th session of the UN General Assembly, 3M partnered with the United Nations Global Compact(+ Accenture & SAP) in launching the SDG Ambition program to support businesses in accelerating action to achieve the SDGs. The objective is to offer support on measuring and managing sustainability performance through business technology systems and enterprise software solutions. The press release in on UNGC website.
Thank you & best regards, -

Subject: DG ENV & 3M cooperation - follow up
Dear Mr. Sadauskas / dear Kestutis,
I wanted to thank you again for our call last Thursday with Daniel Calleja Crespo (whom I copy and thank again for his time), and follow up on some points raised during our discussion.
I appreciated your comments on seeing 3M not only as an innovative company, but also as a responsible manufacturer. We are committed to serve society - customers and communities where we operate in the best way possible, and I will follow up with my colleagues internally on your suggestion ofgetting the 3M Zwijndrecht plant in Belgium registered to EMAS.
